After the Lantern Festival, the Cheng family moved into their new home and held a grand banquet with lanterns and colorful decorations. Colleagues and close friends from all walks of life came to congratulate them. Among them, Wan Songbai and his wife, who had a life-long friendship with Cheng Shi, also came with their daughter Wan Zhiqiu.
Wan Songbai was a standard boss. When they met, he gave Cheng Shaoshang a valuable dagger. Cheng Shaoshang was very curious and played with it in his hand.
When Xiao Yuanyi saw this scene, he naturally had to scold him with a straight face, "Hurry up and put it away."
"Oh." Cheng Shaoshang's original expression of excitement also suddenly changed. becomes dull.
Wan Songbai complained, "Sister-in-law, your discipline is too strict. This little girl is just playing around. She is about to get her hairpin. How many people are there around you?" The New Year doesn’t let people live a relaxed and happy life."
Cheng Shi saw that Xiao Yuanyi was about to get angry, so he quickly pulled Wang Songbai to change the topic, "Well, Brother Wan, look at the scenery of my house, I will show you around. "
Xiao Yuanyi was busy greeting the guests, and the little girl who came with Wan Songbai came to Cheng Shaoshang and said, "Your mother is so cruel."
Cheng. Shaoshang nodded with deep understanding, he finally found his confidant.
"My name is Wan Zuzu, and we will be good sisters from now on." Wan Zuzu put her arms around Cheng Shaoshang's shoulders, with an expression like "I am the boss, follow me and you will have meat to eat."
Cheng Shaoshang was a little confused. It was obviously the first time they met.
Faced with Cheng Shaoshang’s question, Wan Qishu’s wife said, “You taught that He Zhaojun a lesson last night, which was very refreshing. You don’t know how annoying she is, she is very arrogant, and she never Take the family records of our generals seriously."
Okay, so that's how it is. Cheng Shaoshang is happy, but she is used to seeing young ladies from aristocratic families who appear to be weak in culture but privately messy. He was also very fond of Wan Tsuma's cheerful and generous personality, and the two quickly became best friends.
In the front hall, Mrs. Cheng was dressed like a red lantern, covered in gold and silver, which was quite exaggerated and made people just want to laugh. The golden hairpin on one's own head.
Cheng Shaoshang was having a lively chat with Wan Tzu and his wife when he saw two young women entering the banquet and sitting next to them.
As soon as Wan Zhimuzi saw their faces clearly, she rolled her eyes and whispered to Cheng Shaoshang, "That is Lou Hang, Taifu Lou's daughter, and the one next to her is Wang Jian from the Cavalry General's Mansion." , because his mother is the queen and he is a relative, no one takes him seriously, which is the most annoying thing."
Cheng Shaoshang didn't take these two people seriously at first. He just didn't interact with people he didn't like. Yes, but Wang Yao said sarcastically.
"I thought I could answer the five lantern riddles correctly last night and become famous in the capital. What a lady, but I didn't expect that she was so vulgar and ignorant of etiquette."
Cheng Shaoshang was a little confused. She didn’t even know this Wang Jian, so why did he act like she had the revenge of killing her father?
Wan Qiu’s wife couldn’t stand it and said, “Come on, Wang Jian, I don’t have any knowledge at all.” , you have the nerve to call others vulgar, don’t forget that your father is also a carThe cavalry general is also in the lineage of our military generals."
"You"
Wang Shu was so angry that he started to quarrel with Wan Qi and his wife. When Cheng Shu saw this, he wanted to change the subject. However, Lou Yang didn't buy it at all.
"You are worthy of talking to us because your mother was divorced due to bad moral conduct."
Cheng Shaoshang was so angry that he directly He scolded, "Today is the anniversary of the Cheng family's relocation. You didn't say a word of congratulations when you came in. You were full of filthy words. You have the nerve to talk about etiquette here. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will beat you out."
< p> "Sister Shaoshang is right, you two guys who eat people's food and don't speak their words, if you keep spouting shit again, see if I don't throw you out." Wan Tzu's wife said and waved her fist at them.Not to mention that Wang Jiao and Lou Hang were really frightened now. They knew that with Wan Qi’s wife’s character, they might actually start a fight with them regardless of the situation.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the servants singing and drinking from outside the door.
"Master Qin and Master Yuan have arrived. "
In an instant, everyone in the ladies' section was in a rage. Wang Jian and Lou Hang no longer had time to argue with Cheng Shaoshang and they were all looking towards the door of the front hall.
Wan Zhimu couldn't help complaining, "I asked why all the little girls from the capital are coming to your house. It turns out that they had heard the news and knew that they were coming." "
As she spoke, Wan Zuzuzi lowered her voice, "I have been fighting with my father since I was a child, and I have never seen these two. Didn't you stay with them for a long time last night? They both look very good. Is it really so harmful to the country and the people?"
Cheng Shaoshang no longer knew how to comment on the weird adjective "Wanqiuqi", but when talking about Qin Hao, she naturally had a hundred kinds of praise.
However, before Cheng Shaoshang could get addicted to praise, Wan Qiu’s wife interrupted, “Mr. Qin, that’s yours. I, Wan Qiu’s wife, never take anything away from my sisters, so you’d better say so. Then Yuan Shan is fine. ”
When it comes to Yuan Shanjian, Cheng Shaoshang’s impression is nothing more than “mean, boring, pedantic, and annoying”
Wan Qiu’s wife heard, “So this man is so Hate. "
Before Cheng Shaoshang could agree, a familiar voice came.
"I didn't expect that I was so annoying. ”
When Cheng Shaoshang looked up, he realized that Qin Hao and Yuan Shen had walked up to them at some point. Everyone in the front hall was also looking at her and Wan Qishu.
When Cheng Shaoshang saw Xiao Yuanyi’s unkind look, he immediately asked Cheng Shu, who was beside him, with a grimace, “Why didn’t sister Shu Si remind us?”
Cheng Shu felt aggrieved, “I was I'm reminding you, but you are too engrossed in what you are talking about. ”
It’s always a bit embarrassing to be caught red-handed saying bad things about someone behind their back. Cheng Shaoshang could only look at Qin Hao asking for help.
Qin Hao was amused for a while, and then he said to her "My cousin wants to ask you for help with something. ”
Cheng Shaoshang felt confident after hearing this. Since he was asking her for help, he must give her some face
"Then go to the backyard and talk."
Yuan Shen glared at her, but for Qin Hao's sake, it was hard to get angry.
However, this scene was witnessed by the little girls present, who were filled with envy and jealousy. Qin Hao and Yuan Shen were the ideal husband candidates for the little girls from many aristocratic families, but a little-known Mr. Cheng How could Shang Hede be so familiar with them?
Wan Qiu’s wife was looking at Qin Hao, and she suddenly regretted it and wanted to take back what she had just said. She was not interested at all in a weak scholar like Yuan Shen who had no power to restrain a chicken, but Qin A handsome young man like Hao was completely powerless to resist.
"That's all, sisters are for life, how can we let down the love of sisters for a mere man." Wan Tzu and Wife gritted their teeth and muttered, but their eyes followed Qin Hao and the other two people as they left. Reluctant to take it back.
In the backyard, Cheng Shaoshang said to Yuan Shen impatiently, "If you have anything to do, please tell me quickly."
She wanted to send Yuan Shen away early so that she could talk to Qin Hao Being alone together is a rare opportunity.
Yuan Shen could only ignore Cheng Shaoshang's tone if he wanted to ask for help, and then told what his teacher Huang Fuyi wanted to tell Sang Shunhua.
However, Huangfuyi spoke in a formal manner, and Cheng Shaoshang interrupted him halfway through, "It's too long to remember."
Yuan Shen was choked and speechless. Come, Qin Hao interrupted, "Actually, it's his teacher Huang Fuyi who wants to give your third aunt a message. He wants to ask if she is feeling better and if she can reply with a message to make him feel better."
Cheng Shaoshang looked at Yuan Shen in shock, then shook his head, "No, that's my third aunt, what's going on with your teacher, why are you thinking about married women?"
Yuan Shen was a little confused Crazy "you"
Qin Hao saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he winked at Cheng Shaoshang, "Don't you want to know the relationship between his husband and your third aunt?"
< p>A gossipy smile appeared on Cheng Shaoshang's face, "Okay, I will bring it for you, but I will find an opportunity to tell you when my third uncle is here. Don't expect me to do such sneaky things." p>People had to bow their heads under the eaves, what else could Yuan Shen say, and then he was driven away by Qin Hao.
"Ah Hao, I made a swing, let's go sit there." Cheng Shaoshang couldn't wait to show off.
Well, only Cheng Shaoshang can think of making a swing in the winter.
However, Qin Hao will naturally not refuse to enjoy the rare world of two people without being disturbed.
The two were sitting side by side on the swing. Cheng Shaoshang’s feet were off the ground, his body was swaying, and his lips were slightly raised.
"It would be great if I could stay with Ah Hao like this every day."
Qin Hao thought for a while, "You should be here in seven months." It's been 20 years now, right?"
Cheng Shaoshang nodded seriously, then looked up at Qin Hao with his little face raised, "How about you come to the Cheng family to propose marriage then?"
Qin Haoshang was happy, in sheHe scratched his nose, "It's natural for the elders to come to propose marriage. There's no reason for me to come."
Cheng Shaoshang stuck out his tongue, "That's right."
Just before the two of them When she was deeply in love, Xiao Yuanyi's voice came from behind at an inappropriate time.
"Don't get off yet"
Cheng Shaoshang said helplessly to Qin Hao, then jumped off the swing.
Xiao Yuanyi gave her a hard look, and then said to Qin Hao, "If Mr. Qin has nothing to do, it is better not to stay in the backyard for a long time. It will not be good for your reputation."
Qin Hao slightly raised his hand towards Xiao Yuanyi, "Niao Niao has seven months to go before her hairpin ceremony. I have already discussed it with my father. If the appointment is to be held in October, Mrs. Cheng might as well choose an auspicious day."
Xiao Yuanyi Qin Hao looked at him in shock, not knowing whether what he said was true or false.
Cheng Shaoshang was overjoyed and ignored Xiao Yuanyi's presence. He ran directly to Qin Hao and hugged him. "Really?"
Qin Hao nodded with a smile, "I When did I lie to you?"
Cheng Shaoshang suddenly laughed so much that he couldn't close his mouth. Only then did Xiao Yuanyi react and coughed twice. Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was still hanging on Qin Hao, he immediately stepped forward Separate them.
"Before I see the letter of appointment, I would like to ask Mr. Qin to consider Niao Niao's reputation."
Qin Hao did not argue, and once again slightly arched his hand towards Xiao Yuanyi, and then smiled at Cheng Shaoshang He smiled and turned to leave.
Cheng Shaoshang was happy, but Xiao Yuanyi felt that it was a little unreal. A famous family like the Qin family could really accept the daughter of a newly promoted military general like the Cheng family as the head mistress
< p>Xiao Yuanyi couldn't wait for the banquet to end, so she directly dragged Cheng Shi from the banquet to the backyard. Cheng Shi was drinking with Wan Songbai and several comrades in arms.Xiao Yuanyi shouted "Kneel down" angrily
Cheng Shi woke up as soon as he drank, and his feet went weak and he fell down.
Xiao Yuanyi then told him the situation. Cheng Shi was overjoyed when he heard it, "Isn't this a good thing? It's a great thing. If Niao Niao can get this husband,"
However, Xiao Yuanyi quickly poured cold water on him, "Do you really think he can convince Qin Da Si Nong?"
Cheng Shi shook his head and hesitated, "It doesn't look like Mr. Qin is trying to trick him." Let's go."
Xiao Yuanyi hammered his sore shoulders and said solemnly, "This is exactly what I'm worried about. If Qin Da Sinong doesn't want to hurt the relationship between father and son and pretends to agree, I'm afraid he will do everything possible in the future. Make things difficult for us so that we can retreat."
Cheng Shi stood up and said, "This is too unreasonable. He doesn't want to offend us, so he makes our family suffer."
Xiao Yuanyi sighed and said, "Have you ever seen a big family being reasonable to a poor family? The premise of being reasonable is that both parties have equal status. The Cheng family and the Qin family are worlds apart. If the Qin family forces it, how can you What can I do?"
Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to be killed, but I can't let it happen.They hurt Niao Niao. ”
“Hu Tu, it took a lot of effort for the Cheng family to get what it is today. How can we ruin you for a girl’s marriage? Think about how happy Jun Gu is today, and our three sons, the second uncle, Third uncle’s future. "Xiao Yuanyi said.
Cheng Shi sat on the ground dejectedly, "But this curl of happiness should be ruined."
"Then we can only blame her for being too high-spirited and having a bad fate. . "Xiao Yuanyi's eyes turned red.
On the other side, Qin Hao was indeed trying to convince the Qin Yuan family. Qin Fang was relatively open-minded and had no obsession with letting Qin Hao marry a wealthy family. Soon, Qin Hao got through the ideological work.
But Qin Yuan’s work was not easy to do. Qin Hao could only do the work bit by bit.
" Mother, you might as well think about it, now that the world has been settled, but rebellions continue, and a poor family in the Cheng family has been granted the title of marquis and general, it may not have no future in the future. A big family will naturally have the benefits of being a big family. "
"But if a woman from an aristocratic family has a bad temperament and will have conflicts with you in the future, should the child stand on your side or on hers?"
Qin Yuan was angry He said bulgingly, "I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you, so naturally you will be on my side. ”
Qin Hao slapped his hand, “The child naturally stands by his mother’s side unconditionally, but if this happens, wouldn’t the husband and wife be on the same page? Can we still live like this?”
"The most important thing is to give you a few concubines. Don't you like the fourth wife of the Cheng family? She is still young, so you can just take her as a concubine when the time comes. Qin Yuan thought of a relationship that she thought was the best of both worlds.
Qin Hao spread his hands and said, "Isn't that even worse? I feel so happy. Isn't it true that in the future, I will pamper my concubine and destroy my wife?" Instead of getting married, they became enemies. "
Qin Yuan thought so, but she was unwilling to give in. "But, what about Mrs. Cheng Si?"
"Mom, Niao Niao and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. She has a straightforward personality. As long as you Treat her well, and she will definitely treat you twice as well. The child has never asked his mother for anything since he was a child, and he asked his mother to help him once. "Qin Hao saw that Mrs. Qin Yuan's tone had softened, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
Mrs. Qin Yuan looked at her son who had never acted coquettishly in front of him in a daze, and felt a little soft-hearted, and said hesitantly.
"You are so happy with her"
Qin Hao knew there was a drama, and quickly handed over to Qin Yuan's family, "Being able to marry Niao Niao is enough for this life. "
"That's all, let your father make the decision on this matter. "
"Thank you, mother, for helping me. "
Spring is coming, and it is the time for all things to revive.
On this day, Cheng Shizheng came to the military camp and was pulled aside furtively by Wan Songbai.
< p> "Brother Wan, what are you doing? I still have to train. "Wan Songbai circled around him several times, staring at Cheng Shi until his whole body went crazy before he spoke.
"Brother Cheng, you are worthy of being the leader among thousands of troops. The head of a mighty general, such a huge good thing, actually stillTo be able to keep his face like this. "
Cheng Shi scratched his head in confusion, "Brother Wan, what are you talking about? Where can I get any good things from me and return such a huge good thing?" "
Wan Songbai patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Cheng, this is what's wrong with you. You and I are brothers in life and death. We are close friends. It's okay if you don't tell others. Why can't you even hide it from me?"
Cheng Shi was confused, "Brother Wan, if you have anything to say, just say it. You know I am a slow thinker. "
Wan Songbai pointed at Cheng Shi and said angrily, "You guys are still pretending to me. Are the Cheng family going to marry the Qin family?"
Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat. I thought to myself, could it be that Qin Dasinong was going to take action? But then I thought about it and realized it was wrong. If he wanted to retreat before the Cheng family, how could he make it known to everyone?
Look at Cheng Shi Come on, everyone knows about Wan Songbai, the big talker.
"Yesterday at court, Qin Dashunong took Taishi Ling to drink, and early this morning Taishi Ling went there with gifts. If you come to your house, I'm afraid that just waiting for your hairpin gift, the two families will do good things. Could it be that you are reluctant to part with those jars of good bars?"
Before Wan Songbai finished speaking, Cheng Shi He ran straight out of the military camp and rode all the way back to Cheng's house.
Finally, the yard was filled with all kinds of gifts, such as silk and satin, pearls and agate, and even dozens of feet of ruby coral. It shook Cheng Shi so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Mrs. Cheng hugged the jewels in an imageless manner, almost drooling. She wore all the gold hairpins and jade articles on her body, weighing them down. She could hardly lift her neck.
Cheng Shi came to the front hall and found that Tai Shiling had left, and Xiao Yuanyi was sitting there with a dull expression. After waving his hand in front of her for several times, she came back to her senses.
"Madam, this Qin family is really here to hire someone."
Xiao Yuanyi glared at him angrily. At a glance, "Today is just about accepting the lottery, and the first of the six rites was carried out. Besides, the master is not here, how can I make an appointment?"
Cheng Shi thought, "So, that boy really did it."
p>
Xiao Yuanyi had mixed feelings when she heard this. She originally thought that a young man like Qin Hao who had grown up in a honeypot would have such naive ideas because he didn't know the barriers of aristocratic families.
In the end, he really did it.
"Am I really wrong?"
The news of Qin Hao's engagement with Mr. Cheng quickly caused an uproar in the capital. The young girl from the young family was heartbroken. The words "Cheng Shaoshang" have become taboo words in many families. The servants must carefully avoid these three words.
Otherwise, it will be a slap in the face. , or worse, they may lose their lives, especially the Lou family and the Wang family. Wang Jian and Lou Hang are extremely envious, jealous and hateful of Cheng Shaoshang. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest non-anti-theft free reading
